wow, i am glad we have cnn and msnbc to tell us whats on fox

” Cal Thomas asked the panel whether they wanted “to bring up the subject we’re not talking about today.” ”

That statement contradicts what some of the lying, apologist scum in the comment section were saying as to why the story wasn’t covered.

HEY WOLF, HOW ABOUT REPORTING SOMETHING important, LIKE, YOU KNOW, the economy!!!!!!!!!

Even CNN and MSNBC viewers want to know what FOX thinks and covers…. SInce those 2 networks have zero to offer anyone. Without FOX they have no one to attack. Economy is great, unemployment at record lows, we never did give guns to the Drug Cartel and the world loves us..

Using Fox News Watch, a Saturday afternoon grab-bag talk show, to evaluate how the network has covered the scandal doesn’t quite make sense, even if it is the one show on the network that describes itself explicitly as a media show.

I can’t say I recall FNW ever covering overseas media. Would anyone scratch their head if Reliable Sources didn’t cover it? I think not.

Next time they have the porn awards, they should give something to Wolf for all the “Money Shots” he takes for this administration.

Yea…let’s not talk about Murdoch.

Oh look…..a shareholders lawsuit against NewsCorp….

http://mediamatters.org/blog/201107110018

Huh….well…that’s odd….

Gosh, did CNN ever to a story about how GE, owner of MSNBC, didn’t pay any taxes? Did it have a story about how NBC and MSNBC covered or didn’t cover it?

itsn’t it funny how these other networks are so fearful of FNC? Theone network that gives vieweres all sides – conservative, liberal, liberatarian – th eone network that has actual viewers and dominates the rataings. Rather than emulate them, CNN and MSNBC trash them and report on them.

It is so funny.

Did CNN do a story about gun runner yet and Holder obstructing justice, or are they so scared of FNC that they primarily report on Fox rather than the idiot in the WH?

The funny thing about the lawsuit is that they claim Murdoch caused harm to Newcorp’s reputation. That is like you saying you can damage the reputation of a crack whore.

Hehehe……hey!…dude…have some respect for the crack whores k?….hahaha!!

My take away from the CNN analysis is that the NewsCorp outlets for which the story is in their wheelhouse seem to be giving it appropriate coverage, but Fox News (which is basically a channel about domestic politics) may be giving it just enough to push back criticism and because they can’t go all snarky, it’s not really the NYPost’s kind of thing.

Of course, notably absent from the CNN roundup is FBN. The channel isn’t on my cable, so I don’t know whether they’re giving it coverage or it’s their kind of business news, but I did notice that it wasn’t addressed in the clip.

BTW: It’d be interesting to see if questions being raised about the WSJ publisher will have any effect on their coverage, but the Guardian brought-up Mr. Hinton days ago and though he’s not mentioned, CNN seems to be giving the Journal a bye. (Note: I’m not saying that Hinton has done anything wrong, I’m just pointing out that the WSJ publisher and Dow Jones executive has become part of the story)

Otherwise and on a much lighter note, the chyron reminded me of a three minute Daily Show bit from ’06, where Stewart makes hay from the use of question marks in the lower third, especially how it’s (allegedly) used by Fox. When viewed in the context of the actual CNN content, the Blitzer headline could be along the same lines.

the question is, why isn’t the chyron reading:

I tend to agree with ya.

CNN should sweep in front of its own house before Wolf and Brian “Some-Day-I’ll-Be-A-Pentagon-Correspondent” Todd start offering lessons to others on the very same subject.

This is a dumb one. Fox can report on whatever they choose. Freedom of the press and all that. Their network, their call.

And CNN is being hypocritical about it. How about Wolf mentioning Piers Morgan’s bit of disgrace at that paper for which he was fired? For exactly this sort of thing? Maybe interview the pathetic little man about it.

But if the story is the mess at the UK papers over this scandal, then it is a story. But if it is about a competing network not covering it as much as CNN, then it is just stupid.

I don’t recall whether CNN did a segment on “Reliable Sources” about NBC and MSNBC’s coverage of GE’s taxes, but the New York Times did an analysis, as did “Fox New Watch“.

Also, I believe the first hour of “Situation Room” is rebroadcast on CNN International on tape delay. I don’t know where the above segment fit into today’s lineup, but it’s an international story that may of interest to their international viewers, while a GE/MSNBC isn’t quite the same thing. (It may be close, but I don’t know that it’s of as much interest in the far corners of the globe)

Hey CNN…If your looking for some real news stories I heard about an illegal war against Libya and something about the ATF selling guns to Mexican drug cartels.
You might want to check into that.

Perhaps Murdoch’s strategy is to allow everyone’s imagination run wild to make fools of themselves before letting anything in-depth come out of FOX. All I’ve heard so far is brief commentary covering the surface and mentioning the connection to FOX.

Guys come on this is a pretty big story blaming cnn for not covering some other story that they didn’t cover is trying to excuse bad behavior with bad behavior. Fox doesn’t want to cover this because it hits to close to home, and it just reinforces how screwed up our media is. Im not surprised by this but really why are you defending fox on this?

I think I’ll reserve comment on this story until Newscorpse loses a few billion dollars in value.

Wait–what’s that you say? Losses already! Well then. My comment followeth:

HAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!

No reason to talk about Fox huh?

Jeez man, could you be more obviously stupid?

sounds like a lot of people would rather change the subject

they’re just so…..how can i say…..upset that fox news is implicated

on another note, i’m ecstatic that news corp lost 7 billion this week!

How can you guys defend this lack of coverage, this is a massive story! It just reinforces how something can be staring partisan people right in the face and they will still deny that its a problem.

BoomShakalaka said:

Nice name calling tonite. Feel better….?
I never said it wasn’t a story but let’s put it in perspective.
Who cares…..?
How much coverage did they give to ClimateGate or the Journolist ?
None.
Everybody knows Fox News tilts right.
But also everybody knows that all the other networks are so far up Obama’s ass that one phone call from the White House will dictate which stories will be covered or not.
They can even get people fired . Ask Mark Halperin.

Wolf Blitzer is a rumpswabbing obedient political operative who dutifully and happily will carry Obama’s water, urine or feces.
He is a man with no integrity who would always put his comfort, position and lifestyle above millions of Americans.
A spineless coward.
But you probably like that about him.

P.S.
STFU

Its not about FOX tilting right NeoKong they are a news outlet and this is a huge news story that technically isn’t about partisan lines. This is where the world of business and news combines to give its viewers a giant pile of crap. And this is just one reason why fox news viewers rank so low on the informed scale.

Unbelievable. I’ve always thought Roger Ailes looked like a mafia boss. Fox News is garbage. I don’t trust anything coming from this network. And I don’t take anyone seriously who takes this network seriously because it is not a serious news network. It is a right wing partisan political operation. Reporting on the biggest press scandal? Yeah right. It reflects negatively on our own brand. That’s the inherent message Fox News has been sending out by drastically under-reporting the story. Trash news channel.

I really dont know, because I haven’t had the stomach to watch for quite awhile so i’m just asking. But how is CNN covering the Fast and Furious story? Just wondering.

Fox News Watch didn’t just not cover the story, they laughed during the break they wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

In other words they admit it was real story but were too chickenshit to bring it up.

Here is a news flash for you moron. This is the biggest press scandal of our lifetime. It SHOULD BE transpartisan covered aggressively on every news network. Oh, but of course it largely gets a pass on Fox News because Fox News is NOT a real news network. Oh yeah. And very funny trying to compare it climate change? Go give Glenn Beck 5K so you can watch him restore courage in Israel. Moron.

What they should of least talked about was CNN cutting a secret deal with a terrorist nation’s dictator , Saddam Hussein not to report or cover the enormous despair or brutality inflicted on the Iraq citizens under the watch full CNN eye by it’s dictator Saddam Hussein in exchange for CNN’s exclusive access inside Iraq for the purpose of news gathering and reporting all the news fit to print in Iraq .But only pro Saddam Hussein news. You did your job CNN. Great ethics.
It seems to me this illegal conspiracy between an American Corporation CNN and a terrorist nation’s dictator was equally as despicable as hacking 4000 accounts. Perhaps CNN can aggressively investigate this action and how it applies to CNN operations in America. Perhaps their license needs review.

Very true. What is really repulsive by comparison is not just that Fox can’t appreciate a real story that transcends politics because it reflects negatively on their network, but how in contrast they allow incredibly benign attack pieces on Obama to dominate coverage. I mean can you imagine that Fox News let the visit of Common the Rapper to the White House gain more coverage over the span of a week than the the most significant press scandal of our lifetimes. Yes, it’s true. Fox News is a very petty right wing partisan machine exclusively dedicated to smearing Obama and Democrats. Fixed and biased not fair and balanced. That’s more like it.

What in the world are you talking about? You teabaggers are as bad as George Bush not admitting mistakes for the Iraq war or for his handling of the economy. Lame lame lame attempts to deflect accountability.

Couldn’t agree with you more WILLP except for one thing. I think they spent two weeks on the idiotic common rapper story:)

FOX is in a tough position when it comes to this story. Here’s how Mediaite would report an FNC host giving their view of this story:

IF the FNC host says NewsCorp is wrong, the story would become:
“Even FNC employees bail on NewsCorp.”
“FNC host slams own network and management”
“Cracks appear within FNC journalists over NOTW scandal”

IF the FNC hosts says NewsCorp did the right thing, and points the blame square on NOTW, the story becomes:
“FNC host defends NewsCorp scandal”
“FNC hosts protecting Murdoch in NOTW scandal”
“‘Not My Problem’ Says FNC host, Attempting to defend NewsCorp.”

So in short, it’s always going to be a lose-lose situation, no matter how anyone on FNC reacts. Say something, don’t say something… criticize or defend… it will all be the same irrational hate we have seen time and time again.

Don’t believe me? Just read the words of commenter WillP above, and tell me there isn’t a lot of irrational and irrelevant hate out there directed at NewsCorp. It doesn’t matter what they do, the haters will keep on hating.

WillP said:

Ah…. no my friend.
That would be the Journolist scandal where very influential and connected media pundits actively colluded to shape the daily news to be exclusively pro-Obama and to only report negative stories on McCain/Palin.
Maybe you do not consider the media actively and SECRETLY colluding to affect an election a scandal.
You got cheated boy.
Do not think for a second that they still do not do it.
Obama stole two auto companies, blew a trillion dollars god knows where and socialized one sixth of our economy and his media butt boys looked at their shoes and whistled.
Maybe you can explain our presence in Libya and pontificate on who will get rich from it.

Oh right…..it’s about Obama saving lives or something.

Wake the bleep up son.
Your country is being stolen right under your nose.

insideguy said:

Yes, and? I mean, that is obvious. But it is also not news and not necessarily a wrong. FNC has every right to decide what they air. Period. There is no requirement for reporting what story. Not in law and not in any form of journalistic professionalism. By the same token, CNN is ignoring the fact that their own Piers Morgan got caught and fired for just this from that same newspaper in the 90′s. And this is their right.

Here is where is gets really good. We, conversely, have the right to not watch them. See, they get to broadcast whatever suits them within the somewhat arbitrary (different debate for a different day) “decency” standards. And we get to change the channel or not watch or watch or whatever.

As far as partisan people ignoring that which does not for their particular side of an issue, that is pretty much the definition of partisan. And at the heart of why we are still stuck in this rut. Because our government exists only to win the next election. We are pretty much collateral damage in the seemingly endless Democrat-Republican War or Lies and Corruption on Both Sides.

And we can even not watch that on C-SPAN if we want.

Nope Imnotblue how about FOX news simply covering the story for what it is? Is that to much to ask? Its not a lose,lose situation for them they are a freaking news channel and this is a news story. They are acting like a baseball hitter who’s best buddy is the pitcher on the other team so he decides to not try and lets the pitcher strike him out. They are supposed to be a professional news organization just as the hitter is a professional and is expected to do his job.

I guess Keeva and maybe im naive on this issue in some ways. But could Fox please take down that stupid fair and balanced slogan then?

Also makes me really really wonder what FOX would have done during the watergate scandal. Actually i guess I know.

insideguy said:

Well, they have done that. But what we’re talking about is how “NewsWatch” didn’t cover the story… and “NewsWatch” is an opinion program, where media folks discuss the media at large.

It has been talked about on the straight news programs, however.

insideguy said:
I guess Keeva and maybe im naive on this issue in some ways. But could Fox please take down that stupid fair and balanced slogan then?

YEAH! And McDonald’s too! “I’m Loving It?!” I don’t think so! I don’t love it! What a bunch of liars!

If I don’t agree with the slogan… me and me personally… well, then clearly, it’s wrong.

insideguy said:
Actually i guess I know.

Of course you do! Because it takes no reality or evidence to form your opinions… just bias and hate.

Heck, I’m pretty sure you “know” what FOX would do no matter what the story is. That’s one powerful imagination you’ve got there. You should write kids books!

lol are you comparing FOX news to Mcdonalds? Well in that case I agree with you maybe FOX could adopt a clown as their mascot then it would all make a lot more sense.

No ImNotBlue I know because they have a history of covering what they want to cover and not whats really going on. Thats called a track record my friend. Just like the story about the boy who cried wolf. When he finally was actually attacked by the wolf no one listened.

insideguy said:
I guess Keeva and maybe im naive on this issue in some ways. But could Fox please take down that stupid fair and balanced slogan then?

Actually, I disagree with that. Again, they can use whatever slogan they want. There is zero requirement for truth or accuracy in the First Amendment. That is up to the viewer to decide. And, to be blunt, literally every “media outlet” of any kind regards themselves as fair and balanced.

ImNotBlue said:
YEAH! And McDonald’s too! “I’m Loving It?!” I don’t think so! I don’t love it! What a bunch of liars!

I agree with ImNotBlue here. Every company has some slogan that is semi-true at best. I write them for a living. If we were to force total accuracy of all slogans, then the only corporate slogan allowed would be, “Slogan Denied.”

Maybe Keeva but as I said before maybe im just to naive go think that a news outlet that helps shape public opinion on major issues and should actually follow their slogan a little more than a hamburger joint, trying to sell you a big mac.

insideguy said:

Bad food will make you a lot sicker a lot quicker than slanted news. That said, they can do as they choose, but they ultimately have to satisfy the viewer. Otherwise they get an ex-viewer, or in the case of McDonald’s, a former customer.

The news outlets you are thinking of are long gone. Replaced with corporate divisions. As per Paddy Chayefsky’s prediction.

Nah… just the bogus argument against slogans. You don’t really care about the slogan… you just don’t like the differing points of view. And while you (and the others) have tried to come up with new and unique ways of disguising your demand for ideological purity as something other than bigotry and arrogance, the “the slogan isn’t true,” line is your weakest.

Is MSNBC really the “Place For Politics?” Does America really “Run on Dunkin’?” Is Maxwell House really “Good to the last drop?”

It’s a bunch of nonsense… just another way to attack someone or something you dislike. Just have a little courage and honesty to say, “I dislike them for allowing a viewpoint different than mine to reach an audience.”

insideguy said:
No ImNotBlue I know because they have a history of covering what they want to cover and not whats really going on.

Kinda like every other news network… ever… for all time… ever.

What you mean is, “They sometimes don’t cover the stories I want them to cover, and then other times they talk about stories I would prefer them to keep quiet.”

Thats called a track record my friend. Just like the story about the boy who cried wolf. When he finally was actually attacked by the wolf no one listened.

It’s also called a “double standard,” as you apparently only notice this on FNC… and not (as previously stated) every other network… ever.

I think your correct Keeva but i suppose there are competing news outlets that have and will pick up the slack on this story, just like I can choose to go to Wendys instead of Mcds. Still think its scary that we have reduced our news outlets down to the level of the fast food industry, however it is kind of an apt analogy:)

ImNotBlue you are such a partisan hack its useless discussing this with you. If you think its cool that FOX news not cover this then thats awesome. I don’t we have a difference of opinion. This is a huge story however go ahead watch two weeks of common in the white house if you want. Or listen to them forget to discuss the Bachman clinic problems. And by the way Maxwell house is good to the last drop:)

insideguy says

Do you get as infuriated when msnbc spikes huge stories? Just curious.

Sure do Jaurez. Heres the difference dude. FOX has a lot more viewers therefore they are getting there biased news reporting out to a lot more people. Now that being said if I sit and watch an obvious hit piece on 60 minutes or msnbc or cnn or whatever ill be just as critical of them, and you can count on it. But I doubt that I can count on you to do the same when FOX screws the pooch. Cause I don’t think I have ever seen you do it thats called a track record my friend.

insideguy said:
FOX has a lot more viewers

According to the far left loons it’s only 1% or less and sponge bob has way more viewers so why does it matter? You wouldn’t even know that we are in 2 wars if you watch msnbc, does that bother you? Don’t bother.

Really Jaurez I thought we were in 3 wars? And I think if you watch msnbc the left wingers on that channel are constantly pressing for Obama to get out of at least two of them,maybe im just seeing things.

insideguy said:

In between “reporting” what somebody on Fox News said? In between stalking Palin and Bachmann? You’re clearly seeing things. Or just lying.

sighhhh Jaurez would you like me to post some things that will prove im not? I don’t want to be your milk maid and I know your a big boy, im sure if you just use the google you could find Ed , Chris and ms maddow all telling him to get the hell out of afghan and Iraq.

Oh and check this out Jaurez I think MSNBC is a total left wing channel! Now see I admit it, can you admit the bias on FOX? Can you? I know you can just type those words into the computer you will be amazed how free you will feel.

Exactly right and much more. The JournOlist scandal got swept under the rug pretty quickly with complicit MSM. It does indeed still happen daily, it’s just more carefully hidden ever since they got caught. Those on the JournOlist got a pass and they’re still drawing a paycheck to betray the public trust.
Collusion with team Obama has been SOP for the MSM and they don’t even care to hide it anymore.
FOX is covering it, just not as eagerly as most news outlets covered Casey Anthony. We’ll see if they go in-depth with it or not. I’ll be a little disappointed if they don’t.

News Corp had to buy its own stock to stop the bleeding!! I think the Justice Department needs to get involved. Advertisers are pulling out like there is no tomorrow.

It was only time before the Mafia outfit got caught.

FOX is not a ‘news’ organization but is the political arm of the GOP so it chooses to cover what suits their message of the day.

Wolf Blitzer and his story are weak. However, at first foxnews.com did try to bury the hacking story in the a$$-end of the business section, but it eventually moved to the world news page. It’s a little hard to comment though since the name “Rupert Murdoch” is censored.

fact: important = inportant.

OMG I almost had a hernia when I heard that. lol

Why doesnt mediaite do a story about all the stories CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNBC and CBS are ignoring? For example, the Obama gun running story. I never see anything about that anywhere but Fox.

I’m a big Fox News Fan and I watch them all the time.. but what’s this scuttlebutt about some Ruper Murdoch guy and this scandal I hear going around? Why haven’t I heard Fox mention anything about it?

If Fox were a news channel, they would cover this story; but they’re not.

Fox is a political propaganda channel used to put the country to the right by smearing people and distorting ideas on the left.

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2011/07/fox-channel-of-propaganda-brainwashes.html

Dronetek Bulk Vanderhuge cites a case in point when he wrote:

“Why doesnt mediaite do a story about all the stories CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNBC and CBS are ignoring? For example, the Obama gun running story. I never see anything about that anywhere but Fox.”

That is because CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNC and CBS are NOT channels of propaganda. Fox tells reactionaries what they want to hear, the facts be damned!

I would be more interested to know why CNN is not more concerned about the US economy ABOUT TO GO OVER A CLIFF or why they are in the tank for Obumma and why they are CARRYING HIS WATER, and why they are so obsessed about cell phones being hacked but ignoring Eric Holder not prosecuting Black Panther loosers for VOTER INTIMIDATION…

…but you go Wolf, you go boy.

A random check of a couple of these network’s websites shows they have stories, some with video and all indications are that some made it to air. Of course, the broadcast networks have less time than the cablers and there seems to be more stories from last month when the news was breaking, but it’s not a big secret and CNN has covered the story.

The senate isnow demanding Holder turn over all his correspondence regarding Fast and Furious. it is a much larger story than the networks are making it out to be, it is a great scandal of DOJ cover-up, which is why it is not getting much play on the networks.

They will continue to hide, bury,spike, ignore etc.l, until it gets so big that they will be embarrassed to not report it anymore. mediaite has had one story on it so far, a gazillion stories about Bachman and Palin, but only ONE on gun runner. kind of humerous, but expected.

CNN Confirms: Nothing Newsworthy About Fox News’ News Of The World Coverage

Except, covering Foxnews continually.

CAconservative says:

“Except, covering Foxnews continually.”

That’s because corruption is newsworthy.

Quote: “Gosh, did CNN ever to a story about how GE, owner of MSNBC, didn’t pay any taxes? Did it have a story about how NBC and MSNBC covered or didn’t cover it?”

Gosh, did ANYONE ever do a retraction of that story, since it was bogus? The story originated with the New York Times, a notably unreliable source, so why wasn’t there more skepticism right from the start?

GE’s own explanations are here>> http://www.gereports.com/more-on-ge-and-taxes/ 

If someone wants to check out the annual reports, summaries and some details of GE’s tax payments should be there as well.

I don’t have any love at all for GE, especially for its subsidiary NBC/Universal, now co-owned with Comcast. But when the NY Times lies about anyone, an individual or a company, a friend or a foe, and their lies are being constantly repeated, then someone needs to point this out.

At least five members of Parliament have asked that Piers Morgan be called to testify about phone-hacking or voicemail-hacking at The Mirror. 

I myself have no knowledge of this Piers Morgan person, though apparently he works for a US cable news network that is not Fox. 

Additionally, I know nothing of The Mirror except that it is not part of News Group Newspapers or News International Ltd.

MSNBC is tops for propaganda,,,,,, and the gun runner news is not propaganda – it is true.

Victor,
Get a clue, a couple of articles in the Syracuse Examiner and a blog that has been open for a year with a few HUNDRED views a day , does not make you a journalist. That means you do not write NEWS, you write Opinion trash.

Victor,
So something that requires CONGRESS to investigate what went on is propaganda? Since when, on what planet?
How often have I caught you making statements, the Facts be DAMNED? Does that then not also make you a propagandist?

Most definitely it does…. among other things.
